Urakami

The Urakami were a Japanese samurai clan from Bizen Province in eastern Honshu. They originated from the Minamoto clan, and lasted into the Sengoku Period of the 1500s.

History
In 1187 Bizen Province was liberated from the Ouchi clan, letting the Kamakura Minamoto create a vassal state in their stead. Urakami Hisatsuna was their first daimyo, and from then on the Urakami clan descended from the Minamoto.

In the early 1500s the Urakami clan declined, as the Matsuda clan invaded them in 1502 after Urakami Norimune's death, but with the help of the Ukita clan, the Urakami survived this.
